Bloody Good! 8 Deep-Red Polishes To Add Some Edge To Your V-Day

No offense to pink, a perfectly nice color, but we're looking for something a little less saccharine for our digits this Valentine's Day. Based on the influx of dark, burgundy-hued polishes currently hitting the shelves, we're not the only ones feeling the femme fatale urge: Blood red is clearly having a serious moment.

Here, you'll find eight of the sexiest scarlets spring has to offer, for you to paint or drip — if you feel so inclined — to your heart's content. Girly with a double shot of gritty? Sounds like our kind of V-Day.
